“…A lot of attention is also being paid to MLIL research, which addresses information literacy (IL) issues in multicultural and cross-cultural contexts. Language barriers create another kind of IL divide that can be solved by MLIA and MLIL (Nzomo, 2017;Nzomo et al, 2021). How to raise the levels of IL of international students is also popular in recent years, as these groups are typically influenced by linguistic and cultural factors when using the vast array of digital information resources.…”

“…Some evidence from interviews with international students, English as second language students and instruction librarians show that language proficiency plays an important role in IL instruction, emphasizing the necessity of MLIA tools, such as machine translation, CLIR and multilingualism thesauri.

“…Through literature and investigation, it is found that MLIL comprises three aspects: language ability, digital literacy and cultural literacy. First, Nzomo et al (2021) found that language issues are the most important aspect of users' MLIL, connected to users' education, geography, culture, politics and power and experience with MLIA tools. For MLIL instructions, it is possible to design LIS curricula to include courses that provide MLIA or services.…”

PurposeEthnic minorities (EMs), who make up a sizable proportion of multilingual users, are more likely to browse and search in their native language. It is helpful to identify multilingual users' information needs to provide public digital cultural services (PDCS) for making their life better.Design/methodology/approachThe in-context interview is an efficient way to explore EMs' information needs and evoke their daily experience with PDCS. The material from 31 one-on-one interviews with EMs in China was recorded and analyzed using thematic analysis.FindingsThe findings reveal that language proficiency is a critical factor influencing multilingual information access (MLIA) and multilingual users' information needs. Moreover, language ability, digital literacy and cultural literacy are important components of multilingual information literacy (MLIL), which is helpful for EMs to access PDCS. In light of Kochen's theory, the information needs of PDCS can be classified into the aroused need of resources, the recognized need of functions and services and expressed need. For the expressed need, it is necessary to develop a one-stop convergence platform of PDCS to process various requests of resources, functions and services in the future.Originality/valueThe findings will be valuable for governments, public institutions and social organizations in identifying, addressing and resolving these issues about PDCS.

Digital ecosystems are a set of interconnected elements that enable an integrated and seamless digital experience. In education, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has great potential to improve teaching and learning. However, for the expectations placed on the educational use of AI to be met, it is necessary to develop adequate digital ecosystems that allow its effective implementation. Therefore, it is of great importance to deepen the understanding of these ecosystems and their key elements for such implementation. For this purpose, a systematic review of the literature on this subject was conducted, which included the analysis of 76 articles published in peer-reviewed journals. The main results of the review highlight the current focus of research in that matter, which relates digital ecosystems and artificial intelligence around the personalization of learning. Also, some aspects related to this relationship are analyzed from four categories: networks, applications, services, and users.
